Hugh's Secure but Easy to Remember Password Generator

Here is a little routine for generating a secure password you can actually
remember. You take an easy to remember phrase of at least eight words from
a favorite book, song, movie or poem (the more obscure the better) for example:

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow

And then you yank the first letter from each word so it becomes:

Mhallifwwas

And then you change the case and add easy to remember punctuation to it:

Mhall,Ifwwas?

And then you can change some of the letters
into similar numbers or special characters:

Mh4ll,1fww45?

Then for extra measure you
should add a special character at the beginning and end:

*Mh4ll,1fww45?*

Another option is an artist with a long album or song name such as:

Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"

Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

REO Speedwagon's "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish

!REOS!UcTaP,BucTF!

Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name"

^JBJ-UgLaBN^

AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock We Salute You"

@AC/DC:4Ta2rwsU!

Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water"

?LB+cs&tHDfH2O?(using H20 as water)

Phillip Phillip's "The World From the Side of the Moon"

This produces passwords that
Microsoft's password checker finds Strong or Very Strong, and
How Secure Is My Password thinks it would take many years to crack.
But they are easy for you to remember! Just don't sing any song aloud
when typing in your password!!
